Africa (soloist Lyndsay Regan) & African Welcome are the two opening songs from the environmental musical African Jigsaw. In June 2014, over 250 former choir members and musicians from St Augustine's RC High School, Billington came together with the school's present choir to celebrate their school's 50th Anniversary. The performance (entitled Just One World) featured exclusively 23 songs from Peter Rose & Anne Conlon's famous WWF environmental musicals, Yanomamo, African Jigsaw, Ocean World, Arabica, Song of Creation and One Sun One World. The performance raised a remarkable £25000 for the Catholic aid charity, CAFOD.

All profits from the sales of these archive recordings of the performance, both in CD form and download form, will be forwarded to the Cafod's Connect 2 Sebaya project which the school's Music Department has taken to heart.

In the north of Ethiopia, drought threatens hundreds of families who rely on farming for survival. The community is fighting back. Local people are building reservoirs and water pipes to keep the fields green and improve the harvests. Over the coming years, there will be an opportunity of real, meaningful communication between the school’s Music Department and members of the Sebaya community and a true feeling of connection will be fostered.
